This might be obvious, but I'm stumped right now:
How do I stop spammers who send email with a From: address as the same as the To: address? For instance: * I have a mail server MAIL.ACME.COM * I have a valid user [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's to stop someone from sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (with Reply-to as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) via my SMTP server? Note that [EMAIL PROTECTED] could access my server via any of a zillion different Internet connections (from the LAN at his office, from his dialup ISP while on the road, from his cable modem at home, from a client worksite, from the Moon, etc.) -- that means I can't just allow specific IP ranges to connect via SMTP. Do I just need more sleep, and this is really obvious? Or is this as tough as it appears to me right now?

I liked the VB one because it had a pause built into it -- if you were deleting tons of files, it would delete some (35, if I remember correctly), then pause for a little while to the let the system do other things, then delete some more, etc. Maybe this will help someone!
